Original Artwork for the Discerning Eccentric

A Custom Kitchen Towel Design for a Fabulous Abode

I am so happy to finally be able to post this new kitchen towel design. I finished it nearly two months ago but because it was to be a surprise I had to sit on it until I could get it to it’s intended recipient. It was designed to celebrate my friend’s wonderful beach house in Cherry Grove, Fire Island where we have spent many happy hours surrounded by colorful people and amiable animals eating, drinking and always laughing. I incorporated as many of the key elements as I could fit that make this place special such as his favorite deer and the squirrel that lives in the roof not to mention the drag personas they have come up with for the Pines Invasion every July 4th. It is a magical place and I truly wanted to honor it in the kitschiest way possible.
